A MAD ENGINEER.

Fireman Roberts, of the Wabash
road arrived at Des Moines, Iowa,
Sept. 29th, on his train and tells
thrilling story of his experience with
a mad engineer When the train
drew out Tuesday night Engineer
Botsworth appeared TO be all right,
but before they had gone far Roberts
noticed that his companion acted
queerly. At Harvey he should have
stopped for water, and the fireman
backed the train down to the proper
place, while the engineer acted in
dazed manner. Once on the road
again 'Botsworth began to travel fas-
ter and faster until the train was
running fifty miles an hour. Then
Roberts realized that Botsworth was
deranged and just in time grasDed
the lever at Knoxville and saved the
train from going through an open
switch. Foster flew the engine,
Botsworth standing by with vacant
smile, and as they Numbered through
Bacon the maniac gave a yell and
started TO spring from the cab win
dow. The watchful fireman caught
him by the legs, and while he balanc-
ed him on the window ledge he man
aged with his foot to stop the train.
The conductor helped to get Bots.
worth back to the baggage car, where
he was carefully guarded to 0ttumwa
and there turned over to the authori-
ties. 1t is believed to be paralysis Of
the brain that ails him.

DREAD MOONLIGHT.

"All engineers dread moonlight
nights" said the old trainman. "and
the trouble is nc trouble at all
shadows. An engineer looking from
his engine, sees before him all man
ner of shadows. lie is sure that the
shadow across the track is man, or
a rock, or some kind Of an obstruc-
ton. lie doesn't know, and he is
kept in state of nervous excitement
all the time. Going around curves,
along hillsides, very curious shadows
are outlined along the track, and
very often the engineer Is so worked
up over nights ride, that he is
scarcely able TO perform his duties, +"

NO MORE ICE. BOSS.

Capt. Jim Dense, OF Macon, is re-
sponsible for the following: A few
days ago, on one of the Southwestern
trains, couple of young dudes call
ed on the trainhand for "a piece of
ice, saying they wanted to take a
drink. The ice was forthcoming and
the young men took their drink, for
getting to give one to the trainhand.
After riding few miles they called
for more ice, which was brought,
and again the trainhand was slight
ed. After awhile they called on him
the third time for ice, and he paraly-
zed them by saying, Boss, the bag
gage master says he can't take any
more ice from that corpse kase it'll
Spite. And the trainhand's re-
vengeful ha ha was heard in the
baggage car far above the din Of the
rapidly whirling train.

the House Friday, that he was glad
Bacon was defeated. Several men,

from the TACT developed that he

Major Bacon drafted the bill at the

HIS CHILDs BODY IN THE BALE OF
/ COTTON.


A little son OF Leander Hill, who
lives south Of Covington, Tenn,
went to his fathers gin, and seeing
that the cotton press was half full of
the feecy staple the child lay down
and went to sleep. Operations were
resumed about the gin and the ne
groes filled the press with lint to
complete the bale. The terrific pres
sure of the Sollowing-block was
brought down upon the loose cotton,
and when the bale was rolled up from
the press, bound with the iron ties
the life-blood of the body oozed slow
ly through the fibre. This excited
the curiosity of the men and the bale
was torn open. To the horror and
unspeakable grief of Mr.. Hill he
found the body of his little son
crushed to a jelly. II the little fell
low uttered any cries of distress they
were not heard.
